~ A Day In Capri ~
We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £60.00 per person.
We got the hydrofoil from the marina piccolo which takes about twenty to thirty minutes or so. As we approached Capri I was amazed at the view of elegant brightly coloured buildings and tropical trees and plants it really does take your breath away and looks a bit like Balamory (colourful childrens programme based around Balamory) with all the beautiful colours and shapes, I think you will see what I mean on the photo's.
~ AnaCapri ~
We got a minibus to AnaCapri which is the island's second (Ana-means other), quieter town with lovely little white houses halfway up the slopes of Monte Solaro (which is the highest point on capri ...

Advantages: thrilling, brill twist at the end Disadvantages: none
A well-off English woman is married to a not so well-off Italian nobleman and has acquired the name and title of Duchess Lola d?Acquaviva, quite impressive, but unfortunately her marriage is in tatters. She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady.

In order to get into the mood of the period, the turn of the last but one century, and to learn more about the man she sends an email to the Englishman Simon Parks ...
Advantages: Pure beauty in a tiny island Disadvantages: VERY expensive
go to Capri.
Altogether the trip took a little over an hour, and it was time well spent. You should plan to get there early because the Grotto will be closed if the seas get too rough. It is not really suitable for the disabled.
VILLA DI TIBERIO
This is another place that you should visit when on the Isle of Capri.
An ancient legend has it that the emperor Tiberius took pleasure in having people who displeased him thrown off the thousand-root-high cliff, but there is no factual evidence of this.
Now in a state of ruin, the gigantic villa is, nevertheless, a fascinating place to explore. At its highest peak there is a chapel with a huge bronze Madonna, installed in 1979.

On the way back, you will come to a fork ...
